50 Things You Are Not Supposed to Know

I stumbled upon a very strange book called 50 things you are not supposed to know. It’s written by an unknown author Russ Kick. It was so
interesting that I spent all evening reading it. Only 68 pages and each page had it’s own set of surprises.

I don’t know about if it is true or not as I don’t have any means to verify if it is true or not. Sharing this with you is probably the best
way to know the reality behind this book.

Thought this was interesting, but please take with a large helping of salt.

Noticed i took the time to bold that segment at the top so before you start up the old flame thrower, remember this isn't set in stone. Source

Edited to add: i had the entire list posted, but I'm guessing there is some new site restrictions that keeps that from happening for some reason,
please take the time to click the link to see all 50.

I think the motivations of the book, and the title, presumably, are meant to suggest that you're "not supposed" to hear about it. Not suggesting
that you "haven't heard" about it.

Or, it could be implying that, "You may not know, as most do not, but.."

Also, I don't find the list to be "twaddle", some of it is extremely interesting. Especially the Auschwitz tattoo being an IBM code. I was just
reading something about American corporations involvement with the Nazi's during WW2, in a thread about filmmaker Oliver Stone, of all things.

I totally knew the thing about Sagan toking up. I heard that around the time he died in the late 90's. no wonder everything was "billions and
billions" (which is apparantly something he never said in The Cosmos)

Oh, jury nullification is there (no22). It's not long when 2 activist who were distributing jury nullification leaflets outside a court house were
continously harrassed by security. I believe that happened something like 3 times and on the 4th they attacked them and arrest them for assault.
Haven't heard what happened to them thought.
